ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on localhost 10061

Well I installed mysql version mysql-3.23.55-win on a win2k professional machine. I had this working at one time but for somereason now I cant connect to the server at all. Any ideas as to what I can do to fix this error?

I got it figured out...evidently while i was testing portal systems the my.ini file was modified and had some bad paths in there...I edited them to the correct paths and restarted mysql and all is good now. I am gettin better and better at this everyday.
